Pros

Flexible work schedule, Some interesting work

Cons

The work culture is awful. There's almost no transparency into future work. This campus does not get the recognition others do, likely due to the fact that no VP's want anything to do with it. Compensation for performance is extremely weak.

Hi there, we appreciate you taking a moment to leave a review. I would encourage you to have a dialogue with your manager to ensure they are aware of your frustrations. If you are not comfortable discussing your frustrations with your manager, then don’t hesitate to reach out to your Human Resources Business Partner (HRBP) or call our toll free Open Line. The culture you describe is not characteristic of our company -- if our culture were as damaged as you imply, our long record of sustained achievement could never be maintained. We're working very hard every day to make our company a better place for all our employees and we regret that your experience right now is not as it should be. It sounds as if you have reached a point where you are feeling frustrated with your current project/team. I would encourage you to look for growth opportunities by visiting our careers site (www.northropgrumman.com/careers) and applying for an internal transfer to get the fresh perspective that may help in your career.

Pros

The people that make up this organization are amazing, smart, and excellent to work with. Someone is always willing to help out and we all realize the goal of the job is to protect the warfighter. At the lower levels, new ideas are always welcome.

Cons

A LARGE amount of bureaucracy. Upper management is completely detached and gets very little input from the ground floor, so much so that it has a very large impact on business in the long run. Favoritism and nepotism are near epidemic levels which prevent's the company from making actual progress.
